The Trenton Thunder and the NJM Insurance Group announced this week that $10,450 was donated to The Father Center of New Jersey as part of the Safe at Home Program.
The Safe at Home partnership between the Trenton Thunder and NJM, which started in 2012, has now raised $160,500 for local nonprofit organizations.
Through the Safe at Home Program, NJM makes an annual donation to a local non-profit based on the total number of runs the Thunder score at all home games throughout the season. The Thunder scored 209 total runs at home this season, allowing The Father Center of New Jersey to receive this contribution.
“Supporting the community is one of our core values as an organization and is exemplified by our partnership with the Trenton Thunder and The Father Center of New Jersey,” NJM Community Outreach & Events Coordinator Jeff Richardson said. “We are proud to support an organization that offers innovative programs and services to empower fathers and strengthen families.”
Thunder President Jeff Hurley added: “The Trenton Thunder are prouder than ever to see the continued success of our partnership with NJM. We are thrilled with the growing outreach and impact this partnership is having within our community and throughout New Jersey. We can’t wait to continue to build on that success in 2025.”
Other nonprofits that have been part of the Safe at Home Program include: HomeWorks Trenton, The Miracle League of Mercer County, Children’s Home Society of NJ, Rescue Mission of Trenton, Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK), Anchor House Foundation, PEI Kids, Womanspace, Boys & Girls Clubs (Mercer County), Family Service Association of Bucks County, and the Bucks County Opportunity Council.
